I Will Have My Homepage, Please
I didn't want the client intranet login to be my start page, but they have it enforced by Active Directory group policy, so it periodically reverts back even if you set it to something else. I wanted to have a ready set of client links on a start page.
In My Documents, I made a txt file in notepad that contained:
start iexplore http://www.google.com/ig
I renamed it to IE.bat, and created a shortcut to it from the desktop. The command "start" is necessary so iexplore doesn't hijack the top IE window, and instread starts a new Internet Explorer. If you want to be fancy, you can change the icon for the shortcut to be the real IE icon by doing Properties->Change Icon->Look for icons in: %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

The correct title of this post should be "how to polish a turd". Why aren't you using Firefox? Corporate policy?
